    My 10 year old really enjoys this tablet. It has just enough memory to accomodate both school work and his games he likes to play.

    The tablet worked fine for the first couple of weeks, but began to freeze up after that. Surprised since it is a Dell. Oh well!!!

    This item ended up being returned because Best Buy Geek Squad couldn't get it to work. The short time we had it the Dell was nice view and it worked pretty well. I wish that we didn't buy a lemon.

    Has worked great for us so far, to bad some apps only work with lolipop, this unit has kitkat, would be nice if developers would think about users who can't upgrade to a new tablet all the time.

    Very Slow, freezing & dropping. Dell rep cannot help. They claimed that the tablet needs the android update and they are still waiting for it.

    Ii have put this Dell tablet through the test, and it is the best one out of all the ones I owned before this. I like the apps are not restricted to a certain part of storage.

    Was at first impressed, but soon became quite unhappy. Loaded everything and looked fine. Great colors. Then it just kept freezing and wouldn't work. Returned it.

    Bought for my mother to play her favorite games, but I started to get hooked on it while setting up the device and showing her how to use it! She loves it! The battery life isn't the greatest but this is a good buy.

    OK, it is possible tat I may have purchased a lemon. But, the tablet was very slow to respond to keystrokes from the moment it was out of the box. Responsiveness got slower as time went on, and I took it back to the store about ten days after purchase. Full refund was given, and I purchased the Venue 7. The 7 is excellent, but beware ... the "8" was VERY poor. And, I've seen similar reviews since I returned mine. 5 stars to Best Buy for allowing me to return it. LOVE the Venue 7.

    This tablet was purchased for my 5 year old daughter. She loves it as do I!! Purchase the Dell case that comes with it as well. It's fast as she keeps so many apps open at one time.

    Apps like NASCAR are not compatible but I do enjoy the small feature and quick turn on. Lots of apps do work. Almost better than my laptop.
